The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate

and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
protecting from immigration enforcement actions any
noncitizen who is a veteran or service member and who has not
been convicted of a crime of violence, or allowing removed

all military and veteran benefits to which they would have
been entitled absent removal, by the amounts provided in such
legislation for those purposes, provided that such
legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of
